The assistant lay on the ground, groaning as if half-dead.
Mo Yichen and Yu Wenli sat on opposite sofas, one on each side.
A tense atmosphere filled the space between them.
Jiang Chengyuan sighed, "It's just a small matter, why does it have to escalate like this?"
Yu Wenli wiped his hands expressionlessly and replied, "It does."
Jiang Chengyuan: "..."
"Not just him, but also whoever put the idea in his head, I won't let any of them off the hook."
Yu Wenli's gaze swept pointedly towards the opposite side.
An icy chill permeated the air.
Mo Yichen pleaded, "A'Li, how many times do I have to tell you? This has nothing to do with me. I absolutely did not teach him those words.
"I don't know why he's like this today... Perhaps it's because Mo Zha has been interacting with him more recently? And said something bad about Miss Wen?"
A pot of tea was brewed.
Jiang Chengyuan finished speaking.
Fu Yuchuan's brows furrowed slightly, "He didn't put up any resistance?"
"No," Jiang Chengyuan said. "Could it be you're overthinking it? How could he possibly have influence from Country Y? He rarely even travels abroad."
Fu Yuchuan glanced at him with a half-smile, "Traveling abroad less doesn't mean no contact. If he didn't have something up his sleeve, why would my cheap elder brother team up with him?"
"He's in cahoots with Young Master Fu...?!"
Mo Yichen and Jiang Chengyuan were both stunned.
Fu Yuchuan coldly drank a cup of tea.
He should have realized it back then during that secret conversation at Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School.
If he didn't have connections within the Fu family, how could he have accurately recited all of the Fu family's rules?
But he truly hadn't expected that person to be Fu Yushen.
He had always thought that after his leg was broken, he would have given up his ambition to seize power.
Turns out, he only outwardly restrained himself, while secretly still gathering forces!
"Since Wen Tingxue can't ignite his fighting spirit, then let's gamble with his future. I don't believe he has no backing."
Fu Yuchuan commanded with fierce eyes.
Jiang Chengyuan nodded, "Understood."
The championship night was broadcast live.
Therefore, when Yu Wenli voted for Mo Zha as promised, it caused an uproar not only at the venue but also online.
[What's going on? Is Yu Wenli crazy?]
[Mo Zha debuted successfully, what about my Xiao Jiang? Is he not worthy?]
[Yu Wenli, come out and give an explanation!]
[If he wasn't possessed, this is hard to explain, right?]
[Probably took money, right?]
The host, ignoring the controversy, loudly announced Mo Zha as the champion debut, with Fu Xin and Jiang Yi debuting as third and second place respectively.
Jiang Yixian and Chu Hefei ranked fourth and fifth, failing to debut.
However, Yu Wenli had signed them in advance.
He would also find ways to promote them later.
After the live broadcast ended, Yu Wenli ignored Mo Yichen's attempts at reconciliation and strode away.
Jiang Yixian and Chu Hefei followed closely behind, but Qu You, who was unaware of the situation, frowned and asked him, "How could you vote for Mo Zha? Aren't you slapping yourself in the face?"
Yu Wenli got into the car without a word.
Jiang Yixian stopped Qu You and said gently, "I think Brother Yu has his reasons. You shouldn't say too much later, let him have some peace."
Qu You also came to his senses and nodded, "I know. Don't be sad, you guys. It's just a damn talent show, what's the big deal! When I promote you, I'll definitely make you more popular and more amazing than them!"
"Mhm."
Jiang Yixian and Chu Hefei smiled and nodded, but their smiles held a trace of bitterness.
Qu You patted their shoulders, then turned to get into the car.
"Don't fall asleep yet."
He nudged Yu Wenli's arm with his hand and pressed, "What's going on with Mo Zha?"
